Young Pinus cembra recently damaged by an avalanche against the backdrop of a glacier entirely damaged by human activity! 🧊🔥

Solastalgia 🧊🤍
While we are currently witnessing the end of the Pyrenean glaciers, 40 yr ago there were still 'real' and healthy glaciers!

The Posets (3,369 m) hosted three glaciers: Posets, La Paúl (here, seen from Gourgs Blancs) and Llardana!

Where does the altar stone come from – that central 6-tonne sandstone megalith at Stonehenge (S England)? 🧐
Probably 700 km away, via the Dogger Bank, as shown by combined erratic provenance and glacial transport modeling! 🧊
Still a long way to go! 💪

The disfigured tongue of Bossons Glacier this afternoon, with Aiguille du Midi at the background! 🧊🔥
That gaping hole represents our guilty conscience staring back at us...
We’re destroying our own branch, and we couldn’t care less.

Melting glaciers today in Chamonix! 🧊💧💦
We just out fom the longest May period with average temperature >2°C (5 days) at Aiguille du Midi (3842 m asl), a threshold for cryospheric change at high elevation glaciers! 🏔️🔥

Glacier des Bossons towered by 4,000ers (Mont Blanc du Tacul, 4,248 m and Mont Maudit, 4465 m) as seen from La Jonction today! 🏔️🧊🥰
Most icy landscape of the rest of your life... 🔥

Large subfossil log sampled in the Trient Glacier lateral moraine last year and just tree ring dated to the 1285/86 CE winter! 🧊🌲💍
Means that the Medieval early-LIA advance has reached the level of late-LIA (eg 19th c.) as we already show elsewhere in the Alps (journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....)

Hard to believe I’m even writing this.
Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C than its annual average.
